It all fucking makes sense now
>>ITS THE FINAL PUSH THEY NEEDED TO MAKE EVERYONE UPDATE THEIR WINDOWS
It's the final push to make me switch to GNU/Linux.
it's "linux" and "the linux compiler".
nobody is actually doing that
May I have a facial tissue?
I am
Someone already made this thread faggot. Nice try.
Why would they release a security only patch for the vulnerability on Windows 7 then?
Healthcare IT worker here.
This will be the push for yet another BS audit full of paper work and circlejerks. I'll probably get asked to have meetings with lawyers planning our legal liability issues out.
What we will not be doing is getting rid of Windows XP.
>allowed the ransomware attack to happen
more like they were the ones that made the ransomware attack
It's a good alibi
>May I have a facial tissue?
You mean a kleenex? Sure bro.
>us channers amirate
i did
Strangley i'm learning more shit about computer struggling to make everything working on linux than on windows
I don't mind, it's fun!
CIA niggers looking for a pretext to crack down on Bitcoin
They did hold off Patch Tuesday which is extremely rare...
Hmm....
>MICROSOFT ALLOWED THE RANSOM ATTACK TO HAPPEN ON PURPOSE
You retards need to all be put down for your own good. MS patched Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 back in March against this.
In fact, they actually just released patches for Windows XP, Server 2003 and Windows 8 - despite the fact they're no longer supported.
It didn't happen to me and I haven't updated since 2015
>"Bill... they know!"
>"Activate it."
What are you talking about? Patch Tuesday was this week. It went off on time.
This vulnerability was patched back in November. How is Sup Forums so densely packed with so many fucking retards?
I actually did.
Can't you see why? Good goyims should update to the latest windows 10 creator update.
You CAN'T disable telemetry in whatever version even in the LGBT version that keeps being shilled on Sup Forums by paid street shitters.
interesting
I did lol
>a-all the broken shit is a learning experience for me!
samefag
which anime is this?
I just wanted to let you know I laughed at this.
I like native adobe tools, games, no screen tearing and full driver support.
>games
And they shot themselves in the foot with it. Now they lost a perfectly good chance to convince some more goys to update to Win 10.
You also like getting your computer taken hostage lol
>I FIGURED OUT
every shitposter and their mother is saying this since the news came out
It's GNU with Linux added. GNU was the initial contribution.
i dont into tech, but do i have to update to be safe?
i havnt done windows updates in years
I don't understand this kind of thinking. It's a fucking hospital; it exists to stop people from dying. Some hospitals could not fulfill their only function because wangblows belongs in the trash, and people died in a fucking hospital because of this, but people are still unwilling to abandon it?
>i dont into tech
Then why the fuck are you here? Kill yourself out of this board.
who /never updates/ here
Retard.
Who /anti vaxxer/ here
Might as well call yourself pro malware.
>it exists to stop people from dying
Not in America. It's there to make moneys.
>native adobe tools
>daily 17mb updates to adobe reader
>for no apparent reason
>tfw Sup Forums happenings are the best happenings

Aren't all windows users?

I do.
That's Windows 10 LSTB

No, it's Pro.

I'm talking about photoshop, after effects, premiere etc. Never again will I waste any more hours on Gimp or Paint.NET, any alternatives don't come close.

No surprise
>MICROSOFT ALLOWED THE RANSOM ATTACK TO HAPPEN
Well, that makes sense as a matter of business strategy.
But I'm sure the lawyers nixed that idea. The legal risk would be too high. If caught, it would cause a Deepwater-Horizon level of corporate financial catastrophe.
The funny thing about the lawyers is that they're sometimes the only force within the company for doing the morally correct thing -- because the morally correct thing sometimes also happens to coincide with what's legally prudent.

You forgot the part where the NSA released the tools on purpose.
NSA and Microsoft are in collusion to get people to upgrade because Windows 10 is spyware, they don't even need to use exploits to spy on you when you use windows 10.
This is the true red pill.
No it was Hillary and the librul globalist sjw cocks.
I disabled updates on w7 when telemtry shit from w10 found way to w7, can someone link me the exact update i need to stop this ransomware?
I'd like to know this too.
Also am I safe if I just don't open any .exe email attachments? What's the infection vector?
They only did extra work on server 2003, since they still have to support POSReady 2009 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard
ANSWER THIS
>THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE ATTACK IS TO UPDATE
NSA you need to stop, we don't want your ransomshit

>use Windows 10 for first time

>comes back after every single update
why
no it doesnt
>am I safe
No. Just having malware in a temp file or cache may cause RCE. Also attached files may appear as .doc, .pdf, in fact anything. You must apply the MS security fix, at the minimum.
You probably forgot to uninstal windows store.
You haven't figured out shit
>A day after a ransomware worm infected 75,000 machines in 100 countries, Microsoft is taking the highly unusual step of issuing patches that immunize Windows XP, 8, and Server 2003, operating systems the company stopped supporting as many as three years ago.

>infection vector
the file is a 3 MB exe, but you won't see it like that. The vector is human stupidity, for example, leaving port 445 open to the internet, not updating security fixes, connecting to networks that have Wannacrypt while your PC is unpatched. And that's just for this strain, others may use different exploitts.
>TFW running latest Windows 10
You are wrong
There are millions of pc running windows xp, like ATM, its cheaper to pay $$$ for m$ for windows xp support than change whole infrastructure, because new os would require hw update.
Not only atms, but also billboards, e-kiosk, digital information boards etc.
Billons of pc, hundreds companies paying m$ big $$$$ for support windows xp.
m$ is making more money from windows xp now than when they were selling it

>screen tearing
This is the one that has given me the most headaches after switching to Linux. Any good screen tearing articles I could read to understand them?
>have to do all of these
>blocking port 445 on router is easy
And here I thought windows just werks.
block ports 137 to 139
Because nobody with a brain uses Windows

No it was Russian hackers.
Didn't they released a patch on the Match security update to combat this ransomware shenengan?

Daily daily reminder that lincucks are a vocal minority on Sup Forums trying to push their shitty meme kernal
That's why M$ allowed a NSA backdoor in their OS and leaked it to haxxors.
Smrt.
On Sup Forums Linux users are the majority.
Super majority after this ransom ware.
Even if that is true, which it isn't, that would only be because of stupid Sup Forums wintoddlers thinking they know anything about technology because they prefer a stupid dragon dildo brand.
You are delusional most of the posters on Sup Forums use Linux or at least baby steps dual booters.
time to fire up a new os poll
>if i ignore the fact that they brought out patches all the way back to XP my conspiracy is true
shouldnt you be watching infowars
Nope. Windows is always the majority in Sup Forums polls.
You can't correct for selection bias with those shitty polls because a lot of people aren't going to use it.
